The generated qapi_event_send_FOO() take an Error ** argument. They
can't actually fail, because all they do with the argument is passing it
to functions that can't fail: the QObject output visitor, and the
@qmp_emit callback, which is either monitor_qapi_event_queue() or
event_test_emit().
Drop the argument, and pass &error_abort to the QObject output visitor
and @qmp_emit instead.

Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
There are many error_report()s that can be used in frequently called
functions, especially on IO paths. That can be unideal in that
malicious guest can try to trigger the error tons of time which might
use up the log space on the host (e.g., libvirt can capture the stderr
of QEMU and put it persistently onto disk). In VT-d emulation code, we
have trace_vtd_error() tracer. AFAIU all those places can be replaced
by something like error_report() but trace points are mostly used to
avoid the DDOS attack that mentioned above. However using trace points
mean that errors are not dumped if trace not enabled.
It's not a big deal in most modern server managements since we have
things like logrotate to maintain the logs and make sure the quota is
expected. However it'll still be nice that we just provide another way
to restrict message generations. In most cases, this kind of
error_report()s will only provide valid information on the first message
sent, and all the rest of similar messages will be mostly talking about
the same thing. This patch introduces *_report_once() helpers to allow
a message to be dumped only once during one QEMU process's life cycle.
It will make sure: (1) it's on by deffault, so we can even get something
without turning the trace on and reproducing, and (2) it won't be
affected by DDOS attack.
To implement it, I stole the printk_once() macro from Linux.

The previous commit makes JSON strings containing '%' awkward to
express in templates: you'd have to mask the '%' with an Unicode
escape \u0025. No template currently contains such JSON strings.
Support the printf conversion specification %% in JSON strings as a
convenience anyway, because it's trivially easy to do.

The JSON parser optionally supports interpolation. This is used to
build QObjects by parsing string templates. The templates are C
literals, so parse errors (such as invalid interpolation
specifications) are actually programming errors. Consequently, the
functions providing parsing with interpolation
(qobject_from_jsonf_nofail(), qobject_from_vjsonf_nofail(),
qdict_from_jsonf_nofail(), qdict_from_vjsonf_nofail()) pass
&error_abort to the parser.
However, there's another, more dangerous kind of programming error:
since we use va_arg() to get the value to interpolate, behavior is
undefined when the variable argument isn't consistent with the
interpolation specification.
The same problem exists with printf()-like functions, and the solution
is to have the compiler check consistency. This is what
GCC_FMT_ATTR() is about.
To enable this type checking for interpolation as well, we carefully
chose our interpolation specifications to match printf conversion
specifications, and decorate functions parsing templates with
GCC_FMT_ATTR().
Note that this only protects against undefined behavior due to type
errors. It can't protect against use of invalid interpolation
specifications that happen to be valid printf conversion
specifications.
However, there's still a gaping hole in the type checking: GCC
recognizes '%' as start of printf conversion specification anywhere in
the template, but the parser recognizes it only outside JSON strings.
For instance, if someone were to pass a "{ '%s': %d }" template, GCC
would require a char * and an int argument, but the parser would
va_arg() only an int argument, resulting in undefined behavior.
Avoid undefined behavior by catching the programming error at run
time: have the parser recognize and reject '%' in JSON strings.

Wrong. An interpolation specification must be a JSON token, it

the value of qvirtio_get_dev_type(), and sends arguments

qobject_from_json() & friends use the consume_json() callback to
receive either a value or an error from the parser.
When they are fed a string that contains more than either one JSON
value or one JSON syntax error, consume_json() gets called multiple
times.
When the last call receives a value, qobject_from_json() returns that
value. Any other values are leaked.
When any call receives an error, qobject_from_json() sets the first
error received. Any other errors are thrown away.
When values follow errors, qobject_from_json() returns both a value
and sets an error. That's bad. Impact:
* block.c's parse_json_protocol() ignores and leaks the value. It's
used to to parse pseudo-filenames starting with "json:". The
pseudo-filenames can come from the user or from image meta-data such
as a QCOW2 image's backing file name.
* vl.c's parse_display_qapi() ignores and leaks the error. It's used
to parse the argument of command line option -display.
* vl.c's main() case QEMU_OPTION_blockdev ignores the error and leaves
it in @err. main() will then pass a pointer to a non-null Error *
to net_init_clients(), which is forbidden. It can lead to assertion
failure or other misbehavior.
* check-qjson.c's multiple_values() demonstrates the badness.
* The other callers are not affected since they only pass strings with
exactly one JSON value or, in the case of negative tests, one
error.
The impact on the _nofail() functions is relatively harmless. They
abort when any call receives an error. Else they return the last
value, and leak the others, if any.
Fix consume_json() as follows. On the first call, save value and
error as before. On subsequent calls, if any, don't save them. If
the first call saved a value, the next call, if any, replaces the
value by an "Expecting at most one JSON value" error. Take care not
to leak values or errors that aren't saved.

Both lexer and parser reject invalid interpolation specifications.
The parser's check is useless.
The lexer ends the token right after the first bad character. This
tends to lead to suboptimal error reporting. For instance, input
[ %04d ]
produces the tokens
JSON_LSQUARE [
JSON_ERROR %0
JSON_INTEGER 4
JSON_KEYWORD d
JSON_RSQUARE ]
The parser then yields an error, an object and two more errors:
error: Invalid JSON syntax
object: 4
error: JSON parse error, invalid keyword
error: JSON parse error, expecting value
Dumb down the lexer to accept [A-Za-z0-9]*. The parser's check is now
used. Emit a proper error there.
The lexer now produces
JSON_LSQUARE [
JSON_INTERP %04d
JSON_RSQUARE ]
and the parser reports just
JSON parse error, invalid interpolation '%04d'

The callback to consume JSON values takes QObject *json, Error *err.
If both are null, the callback is supposed to make up an error by
itself. This sucks.
qjson.c's consume_json() neglects to do so, which makes
qobject_from_json() null instead of failing. I consider that a bug.
The culprit is json_message_process_token(): it passes two null
pointers when it runs into a lexical error or a limit violation. Fix
it to pass a proper Error object then. Update the callbacks:
* monitor.c's handle_qmp_command(): the code to make up an error is
now dead, drop it.
* qga/main.c's process_event(): lumps the "both null" case together
with the "not a JSON object" case. The former is now gone. The
error message "Invalid JSON syntax" is misleading for the latter.
Improve it to "Input must be a JSON object".
* qobject/qjson.c's consume_json(): no update; check-qjson
demonstrates qobject_from_json() now sets an error on lexical
errors, but still doesn't on some other errors.
* tests/libqtest.c's qmp_response(): the Error object is now reliable,
so use it to improve the error message.

However, it neglects to set an error then, which can make

json_parser_parse() normally returns the QObject on success. Except
it returns null when its @tokens argument is null.
Its only caller json_message_process_token() passes null @tokens when
emitting a lexical error. The call is a rather opaque way to say json
= NULL then.
Simplify matters by lifting the assignment to json out of the emit
path: initialize json to null, set it to the value of
json_parser_parse() when there's no lexical error. Drop the special
case from json_parser_parse().

The classical way to structure parser and lexer is to have the client
call the parser to get an abstract syntax tree, the parser call the
lexer to get the next token, and the lexer call some function to get
input characters.
Another way to structure them would be to have the client feed
characters to the lexer, the lexer feed tokens to the parser, and the
parser feed abstract syntax trees to some callback provided by the
client. This way is more easily integrated into an event loop that
dispatches input characters as they arrive.
Our JSON parser is kind of between the two. The lexer feeds tokens to
a "streamer" instead of a real parser. The streamer accumulates
tokens until it got the sequence of tokens that comprise a single JSON
value (it counts curly braces and square brackets to decide). It
feeds those token sequences to a callback provided by the client. The
callback passes each token sequence to the parser, and gets back an
abstract syntax tree.
I figure it was done that way to make a straightforward recursive
descent parser possible. "Get next token" becomes "pop the first
token off the token sequence". Drawback: we need to store a complete
token sequence. Each token eats 13 + input characters + malloc
overhead bytes.
Observations:
1. This is not the only way to use recursive descent. If we replaced
"get next token" by a coroutine yield, we could do without a
streamer.
2. The lexer reports errors by passing a JSON_ERROR token to the
streamer. This communicates the offending input characters and
their location, but no more.
3. The streamer reports errors by passing a null token sequence to the
callback. The (already poor) lexical error information is thrown
away.
4. Having the callback receive a token sequence duplicates the code to
convert token sequence to abstract syntax tree in every callback.
5. Known bug: the streamer silently drops incomplete token sequences.
This commit rectifies 4. by lifting the call of the parser from the
callbacks into the streamer. Later commits will address 3. and 5.
The lifting removes a bug from qjson.c's parse_json(): it passed a
pointer to a non-null Error * in certain cases, as demonstrated by
check-qjson.c.
json_parser_parse() is now unused. It's a stupid wrapper around
json_parser_parse_err(). Drop it, and rename json_parser_parse_err()
to json_parser_parse().

json_lexer_init() takes the function to process a token as an
argument. It's always json_message_process_token(). Makes the code
harder to understand for no actual gain. Drop the indirection.

parser_context_new/free() are only used from json_parser_parse(). We
can fold the code there and avoid an allocation altogether.

The lexer always returns 0 when char feeding. Furthermore, none of the
caller care about the return value.
